Party leader pledges to beat the corrupt
HA NOI — Corruption would be steadily beaten, Viet Nam Communist Party General Secretary Nong Duc Manh told 250 voters from Ha Noi and its outskirts on Tuesday.
But the work needed the support and participation of every individual and most importantly must be thoroughly done, he said.
The General Secretary said the lifestyle of Party members and State employees should be a model for others and they must keep themselves and their families away from the temptations triggered by the market economy.
He emphasised that corrupt officials, regardless of status, would be severely punished in accordance with the law.
The General Secretary was accompanied to the meeting by Ha Noi People’s Committee chairman Hoang Van Nghien and other of the capital’s representatives in the National Assembly.
They heard voter suggestions and complaints about the management of their city, land use, disputed administrative borders for wards and districts, job creation for re-located farmers, corruption, wastage and traffic safety.
Nghien, who leads the Ha Noi delegates in the assembly, promised to submit the voter proposals to the National Assembly Standing Committee and answered questions about issues within the ambit of his responsibility.
The Ha Noi assembly delegates also briefed voters about the results of the 11th session that ended last week.
The General Secretary thanked the voters for their suggestions and complaints and praised the city for its socio-economic development in the first six months of the year.
He wished the Ha Noi Party cell and people success with the forthcoming SEA Games and said it would definitely contribute to improving Viet Nam’s prestige and its international role. — VNS
